Standby For Space Station Sunday!
Good afternoon, space fans! We have to swing a little bit outside our usual orbit today, but the latest news on the ISS resupply ships, the new DNA and heart muscle studies aboard, and the most interesting images from that lofty laboratory will be arriving later on today (possibly very early tomorrow, depending on your position on our planet.) Thanks for standing by...watch this space!
Crushing Bugs: Snowden To Sever Secret Smartphone Radio Transmissions
Oh, Edward Snowden. A
hero to any modern man who doesn’t want every other modern man, woman, and
robot peeking into his business, the young former NSA operator has sacrificed
his safety (and effectively the rest of his life) in pursuit of reform of the
sickening surveillance state. Now, he’s
created a new device that shows his mission has not subsided in the slightest…

Prints To Convince: 3-D Printed Fingerprints To Be Used In Murder Case
3-D printing is experiencing a boom across a fascinating
variety of sectors. It can be used for
construction, creating artistic foods arrangements, making clothing, or even
fashioning spare parts for the International Space Station. Now, cops have used it to help gather
evidence…but is it ethical?

Drone-O-Gram! Amazon Secures Patent For Air-Based Deliveries
Like it or not, drone technology is here to stay. Besides providing for brutally asymmetric
warfare, however, they could also be pretty useful for delivering things other
than bombs. Since we all know the
surveillance state isn’t about to let anything get actually lost anymore, it
only stands to reason that a new patent could provide drone-docks all around
your neighborhood…

Get Your Kicks (And E-Car Charges) On Route 66!
It’s immortalized in song as “the highway that’s the best”
for a reason…and now, even more so! The
United States' storied stretch of roadway, Route 66, will be going green in a
major way…

Big Brother In Mother Russia: Putin's New Anti-Terror Bill Wants ALL The Data
Oh, Vlad. Just when
the rest of the world is getting really good at pretending we want to value
human rights and raise awareness, you have to go and sign into law an
anti-"terrorism" bill so rights-infringey, even some of the pro-Kremlin crowd
thinks it goes too far…
